Automating open source intelligence : algorithms for OSINT / [electronic resource] edited by Robert Layton, Paul A. Watters. Layton, Robert, 1986- editor. Watters, Paul A., editor. Open source intelligence. JF1525.I6 327.120285/4678 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Vendor-supplied metadata. This book presents information on the gathering of information and extraction of actionable intelligence from openly available sources, including news broadcasts, public repositories, and more recently, social media. As OSINT has applications in crime fighting, state-based intelligence, and social research, this book provides recent advances in text mining, web crawling, and other algorithms that have led to advances in methods that can largely automate this process. It presents a coherent set of methods and processes for automating OSINT; focuses on algorithms and applications allowing the practitioner to get up and running quickly; includes fully developed case studies on the digital underground and predicting crime through OSINT; discusses the ethical considerations when using publicly available online data. -- Edited summary from book. 2016 Text 1 online resource. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128029169 eng Syngress advanced topics in information security Syngress advanced topics in information security.
